Trisquel has never supported other architectures even if those offered freer computers, such as the Lemote Yeelong MIPS laptop (which was supported by gNewSense). This might have been partially due to Ubuntu focusing on x86 releases compared to Debian. I understand the logic regarding the

Vinagre is a VNC client (among other things). The remote computer needs a VNC *server*. Again GNOME's VNC server (Vino) is installed by default on the MATE edition of Trisquel 8. There must be something in the "Control Center" to enable it, or you can execute "the 'vino-preferences'
